Simple At-Home Exercises To Maintain Muscle And Joint Strength
The closures and limitations of gyms and other fitness facilities have thrown a wrench into the workout routines for many people.

To help our patients increase their chances of remaining pain-free, our Orthopedic Hewlett NY would like to share some simple at-home exercises that anyone can perform.

The Benefits Of Orthopedic Telemedicine Care
With social distancing guidelines being administered across various parts of the country and the rest of the world, healthcare practices must work to keep both patients and medical professionals alike protected. At Advanced Orthopedics & Joint Preservation, we’re committed to providing our patients with care, no matter the circumstances. By utilizing telemedicine services as an option, our Orthopedic Hewlett NY can provide variations of this care without the need for physical visits. To learn more about telemedicine, and what makes it so beneficial, please consult with our staff by scheduling your online appointment.
What Is Telemedicine?
As you already know, making traditional medical visits involves physically coming into the medical facility. However, for some patients, this is not a safe option. When you require care but cannot leave the house, our Orthopedic Hewlett NY can still help you with the use of telemedicine.
Telemedicine is used to simulate a physical visit for those unable to meet in person. Although this was first done using phones, with technological advancements, telemedicine now encompasses the use of video technology as well.
The Benefits
As previously stated, telemedicine is beneficial to both patients and practitioners alike. That is one of the reasons our Orthopedic Hewlett NY offers telemedicine services as an option for care. By doing so, we allow those who seek orthopedic care with us to reap the following benefits of telemedicine services:
- Ability to receive care without needing to break the current social distancing guidelines.
- Limit the need for time-consuming commutes to the doctor’s office.
- The quality of diagnosis and treatment methods remain at the same standard of traditional visits.
